Features & Capabilities

See Value provides real-time access to the exact lightness value of your subject, whether viewed through the camera or from saved photos. It’s a practical tool for artists and photographers who want to train their eye to read value, a foundational skill in grayscale art and drawing.

Features include grayscale modes (2-level black & white, 3-level, 4-level, and Continuum), contour lines for quick sketches, and a double-tap toggle between grayscale and color. You can convert Photo Library photos to grayscale and save edits back to the library (in-app purchase). Note: this app does not display monetary value.

User Reviews

See Value is widely praised as a powerful, affordable tool for artists to analyze tonal values. It offers 2-, 3-, and 4-value scales, a precise crosshair readout, and a workflow that lets you capture or import photos and save results to the camera roll. Most reviews call it worth the 99-cent price and invaluable for practice and painting prep. Repeated concerns include unclear pricing for in-app purchases, occasional crashes or failing to load after updates, and confusion about how to import or take photos within the app. Stability and upfront pricing clarity would improve the experience.

Pros

Very useful tool for analyzing tonal values in paintings.
Flexible value scales: 2, 3, or 4 values to make tonal differences pop.
Photo workflow: capture or import photos and save results to the camera roll.
Affordable, one-time price (~$0.99) versus subscription-based rivals.
Helps with learning color/value theory and provides immediate feedback for practice.

Cons

Pricing and in-app purchases are unclear in advance; concerns about per-use charges or duration of access.
Reliability issues: some users report the app won’t open or no longer loads after updates.
Ambiguity around importing or taking photos within the app; not always obvious how to use the photo workflow.
